<p dir="ltr">I have a quick question:<br>
How is anyone hurt out harmed by the practice? I agree it isn't helpful. But it isn't harming either. It could be gaming and it could be ignorance - mistakes by not knowing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm asking because I see the same predictable personalities making passive aggressive accusations against their peers about gaming and ill intent. When folks are approached, they realize it is due to not knowing. Their answers are received with suspicion and presumptions that they are in the minority.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We really need to stop rushing to embrace the worst in each other.</p>

</div><p dir="ltr">A true automerge has potential to accidentally clobber things in an ugly way if it goes wrong. The auto propose but core approval still has a level of human spot checking. I would personally be uncomfortable with the bot automatically merging things. At face value the overhead of a core approval and possibility of what is highlighted in this thread is better IMHO.</p><div class="elided-text">
